Time Tracker users with manage_basic_settings access right (co-manager and higher roles, by default) can adjust basic group options on the Group page. Group settings page in Time Tracker
Group Properties
Group Dropdown
Group dropdown allows you to select either a top group or any subgroup for editing. It contains an entire organizational tree with asterisks representing a level in the organization directory. The number of asterisks indicates a nesting level in the tree down from the top group. For example: 1 asterisk means a subgroup is 1 level down from the top group, 2 asterisks - 2 levels down and so on. Use group dropdown to select a subgroup
Subgroups
Subgroups: Configure link navigates to a page where subgroups can be added, deleted, or modified.
Currency
Currency field is for the currency symbol to be used with cost-related values in Time Tracker. The currency symbol gets displayed on reports for cost values, and also on invoices where a money value is expected. For example, a 25.00 value may be displayed as US$ 25.00, CAD 25.00, £ 25.00, NOK 25.00, or ¥ 25.00 depending on the currency symbol. You can use any symbol you want here. Note: only one currency per group can be used.
Roles
Roles: Configure is a link to a page where group user roles can be configured. Time Tracker comes with a variety of built in roles that are usually sufficient for a typical use.
Language
This control defines the interface language for group. One language is set for all group members here. This setting affects user interface for logged in users.
Note that the language for the Login page, which is an initial screen users see when they go to Time Tracker to login, is defined separately by an administrator installing Time Tracker in LANG_DEFAULT value in its config.php file. An example below sets browser-defined default language.
// Default language of the application.
// Possible values: en, fr, nl, etc. Empty string means the language is defined by user browser.
//
define('LANG_DEFAULT', '');
Decimal Mark
Select a separator for decimal numbers in this control. It could be either a period or a comma. The decimal mark is used in Time Tracker when displaying decimal numbers as a separator between whole and fractional decimal digits. An example on the right shows currently selected format for decimals. Decimal format example

Display Options
Display Options: Configure shows a configuration page for various display options. For example, you can configure whether to show inactive projects in reports, or provide custom CSS there to modify presentation of Time Tracker pages.
Holidays
This control is used to specify holidays for the group. Holidays are displayed in different color in calendar on relevant pages, and are also used with the Monthly Quotas plugin.
Tracking Mode
This option defines how Time Tracker tracks time. Three tracking modes are available: time, projects, and projects and tasks. Tracking mode selector
Time tracking mode - is used to track time without association with projects or tasks. Example: users punch in and punch out each day.
Projects tracking mode - is used to track time spent on projects. There is no concept of tasks in this mode. Time records can be associated with projects throughout work day.
Projects and tasks tracking mode - is used for detailed tracking of time spent on projects and tasks. Example: user working on a software development project doing various tasks such as research, design, coding, debugging, testing, etc.
Note: If projects and tasks mode is insufficient for categorization of work time, you can additionally use custom fields.
Record Type
This dropdown defines which options are available for time records: duration only, start and finish, or all. Record type selector
All - both duration and start / finish times are available, you can use any option.
Start and finish - time records have start and finish attributes.
Duration - time records have only duration attribute.
Use the Punch mode checkbox if you want users to only use the Now buttons to punch time in and out. Note that the punch mode restriction depends on user's role having the override_own_punch_mode or override_punch_mode access rights. Punch mode is further explained here.
One uncompleted
This setting controls whether multiple uncompleted records are allowed for users. When set, Time Tracker checks whether another uncompleted entry already exists during creation of new records and prohibits the operation if so. Read more about One uncompleted option.
Allow overlap
This settings controls whether or not time-overlapping entries are allowed. For example, with allowed overlap, one entry could occupy a 9:00-10:00 time slot, and another be inside, such as 9:15-9:30.
Future entries
Enable Future entries to allow users enter records occurring in future. For example, to track vacations.
Uncompleted indicators
This setting adds a column on the Users page that shows whether or not each user has a currently uncompleted time entry (working on something, or being in office / job site). The Uncompleted indicators option is further explained here.
Confirm saving
This option shows up a warning to users in situations when they edit their entries and change dates for them. Read more about Confirm saving option here.
